Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 22, 1913.

Application filed June 29, 1910. Serial No. 569,553.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that 1, CHARLES WV. T. DAVIES, a subject of the King of GreatBritain, residing at New York, county and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Body-Garments, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to body garments.

My object is to provide means on body garments such as waistcoats, andpajama shirts, facilitating their attachment to the nether garment orthe trousers to prevent displacement of their relative adjustments andgaping between their respective upperand lower edges, and to this end Iprovide on body garments such as Waistcoats, pajama shirts, and thelike, on either flap thereof, near the front closure, one or more loopsor the like adapted for the passing therethrough of the fore ends of thebelt, draw string, or other fastener on the gar ment or trousers, tohold the upper and lower garments in easy connection when the fasteningis completed.

In practice, it is preferable to provide a plurality of loops arrangedat different heights on the flaps of the body garment so that, accordingto circumstances, a set of loops will be in proper position for thepassing therethrough of the belt, draw string, or other fastening on thenether garment.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure l is a view of a waistcoat spreadopen, showing the loops; Fig. 2, illustrates how the belt is passedthrough the loops on a waistcoat; and Fig. 3, a similar view showing theuse. of the invention on pajama shirts.

In Figs. 1 and 2, the waistcoat is shown at 1, the flaps of which areprovided near the lower part of the front closure thereof with one ormore loops 2 arranged one above the other, which may be variouslyformed, but preferably of tape caught at the points 3. I wish itunderstood that these loops may be constructed, attached, and arrangedin various ways. The belt 4 which is carried by the nether garment 5 inthe usual manner, as by loops thereon is, before the connection of itsfree end and buckle, passed through any desired one of the loops 2, asshown in Fig. 2, and the ends are then buckled together, securelyholding the waistcoat and nether garment or'trousers together, obviatingany gaping or relative displacement and yet being perfectly comfortableto the wearer.

In Fig. 3, the pajama shirt is shown at 6 and the nether garment at 7.The loops 2* are provided on the flaps of the shirt and receive the drawstring 8 of the nether garment 7.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

A body garment, such as a waistcoat, pajama shirt, or the like, providedwith a plurality of loops arranged one above the other on the under sideof the front closure flap of said garment near the closure edge, in sucha position as to be adapted for the reception of the free end of a beltor draw string which supports the lower garment, so as to prevent theupper garment gaping upwardly from such lower garment, at whateverheight the upper garment may overlap the lower one.

In testimony whereof, I hereunto affix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.

CHARLES T. DAVIES.
